Week 6 Video Assignment: Language Background

Your Language Background

SIMILAR to page 64 in the student workbook, you will sign one of the following two examples and submit YOUR OWN language background.

I recommend writing it out and practicing.  Be sure to use the correct sign parameters and NMMs, including the eyebrow raise for the transitions. (GROW-UP, HIGH SCHOOL, and NOW/COLLEGE).

The assignment is not long.  You will be graded closely.  

***NOTE: there are two samples.  Most of you will follow the second one if this is your first time in college.
